I love green onions and they would often make their way onto my grocery list because I use them so often… then I read a great tip and thought I would share it…
When you use your green onions, you usually use just the green and then most people throw away the rest…. instead of throwing away the whites, put them in a bit of water and watch them grow back… Within a few days you will have considerable growth and will be able to use them again… just clip off what you need…
I used these last week and just had the whites left, so I put them in some water (left the ring on so that they would stay upright) and not even a week later they are even taller then the original ones… I can’t believe I hadn’t tried this before!

What a great idea….however, my husband eats ALL the onion so I’d rarely get to do this. Perhaps next time I’ll keep just one for my windowsill.

Cool! I typically eat the entire thing, but I’m gonna try this.
